Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the appropriate size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either do not have ductwork in place or rooms that would be difficult to serve with conventional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the walls or ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are very easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and using a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as smoothly and efficiently as it can for the duration of time it can.
Many people opt to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra room, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or increase the temperature of a space that is usually too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.
It’s important to work with an experienced HVAC company when deciding if a ductless system is right for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and assist you to pick the best system that will meet your needs. Contact Garden City HVAC today to begin!
Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by actively cooling only the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes with a new garage or addition, or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a less power than what is needed to cool a whole home with ductwork because they do not need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
It only takes 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.
Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other that is why you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living room at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to grow Many people are contemplating the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom home improvement. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra area of your house without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This will help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you have an HVAC company that is professional. These units are often installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to make a small cut into the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is then joined to the house using clamps that secure the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with many floors.
Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so the users can select the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is very useful to be able to control the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple people living with you who prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.
Contact us today if you are interested in upgrading to an AC system that is ductless or adding air conditioning to your garage apartment or gym. We will help you select the most suitable ductless AC system to meet your needs, and take care of all installation and maintenance.
Getting the most out of your ductless system requires proper maintenance, which includes regular air filter replacements, as well as periodic cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils and condenser unit. Our technicians can create an maintenance schedule that is right for your ductless unit and the area it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about keeping your system in good condition.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy that may be caused by leaking ductwork. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.
Another way in which a ductless system can help you save money is by offering zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.
A ductless system operates similar to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in many different places, including an attic, garage, or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire home. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses, and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each space independently, which can be particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
